Proud new owner of an iPod Classic
Yes the time has come where I have gone ahead and made the iPod purchase. Yes I have owned a shuffle in the past. And Christina has an iPod nano before they widened it. But I feel that the number of features and price have reached a point which begs the question. "Why don't you buy one!" I got a black iPod classic with an 80GB hard drive. I like the fact that you can do video on it if you like. It has a wheel based Coverflow feature. And the large 80GB storage have sold me on this model. The iTouch is cool but still in it's infancy. I would expect that the flash memory prices will drop quickly and then make this the iPod of choice in a couple of years. But the original draw for the iPod and what drew me to the Classic is the huge storage where you have "everything in your pocket". I have already loaded a classic Stanley Cup Finals game from the 1970's on it, to call up one of the greatest players to ever play the game, Gilbert Perrault. He played like a Mazda MX6, "just like butter". Soon it will be filled with "Science Friday" podcasts, and loads of songs. And it will nice to be able to pull up anything in an instant. Apple magic at it's best.

Stitch, I believe congratulations are in order! (Pop! Champaign bottle opening!) I gotta tell you I think about all the cool iPods available, and it's tough not to want one! But let me tell you, I still have my 4g white iPod with 40 Gb, and although it doesn't have video, I store literally ever song I have ever ripped on that iPod. It still works great! The only issue is that the battery no longer holds much charge after all these years. It's incredible to still have almost half of the data storage available after all this time!
I think you made one of the best choices you could make. Video, monstrous storage, and awesome good looks in that iPod. Have you tried any of the included games? They look stunning and play great! (At least when I screw around with it at the Apple Store!)
Again, congratulations!
